Condition 7 – removal from controlled parking zone.

In the light of the representations made on behalf of the Applicant suggesting a need for parking for visitors the Committee felt it was reasonable to change this condition to allow the occupants to apply for visitor parking permits.

Condition 11 – No habitable room in roof space of 77A Sandfield Road. 

The Committee felt that the size of the loft did not provide adequate amenity space for a bedroom and wanted this condition to be retained.  The Committee did not accept that the condition was unenforceable.

Condition 15 – Retention of privit hedge at 77A Sandfield Road and extension of amenity space (suggested 1 m wider).
